Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part in a progressive mold. Position of the holes (PH1-PH3) for parts such as bolts which mount punches on a plate (PLT) are defined, the positions of the part holes (PH1-PH3) are stored in correlation with punch shapes (DF1-DF3), and the part hole positions are moved in association with movement of the punch shapes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part in a CAD/CAM system for performing progressive mold design by performing blank layout based on an entered article shape, then defining different shapes such as punch shapes in a strip layout, and thereafter specifying different shapes and part holes machined in each plate, comprising the steps of: defining a part hole position corresponding to the punch shape, when defining a hold position of a part which mounts a punch on a plate; moving the part hole position in accordance with movement of the punch shape; and after the part hole position of the part which mounts the punch is defined, entering (i) the fact that the hole is a hole for the part which mounts the punch, (ii) a part name of the part which mounts the punch, (iii) the shape of the punch mounted by said part, and (iv) the part hole position.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
156 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part in a CAD/CAM system for performing progressive mold design by performing blank layout based on an entered article shape, then defining different shapes such as punch shapes in a strip layout, and thereafter specifying different shapes and part holes machined in each plate, comprising the steps of: defining a part hole position corresponding to the punch shape, when defining a hold position of a part which mounts a punch on a plate; moving the part hole position in accordance with movement of the punch shape; and after the part hole position of the part which mounts the punch is defined, entering (i) the fact that the hole is a hole for the part which mounts the punch, (ii) a part name of the part which mounts the punch, (iii) the shape of the punch mounted by said part, and (iv) the part hole position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
69 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part according to claim 1, further comprising storing part hole machining information to correspond to each part name, obtaining part hole machining information conforming to each entered part name, and storing hole position data of the part which mounts the punch and said part hole machining information in a memory to correspond to said inputted punch shape data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part according to claim 2, further comprising applying a coordinate transformation, for moving the punch stage to a predetermined position, to said punch stage and to a hole position correlated with said punch shape, thereby moving the part hole position in association with movement of the punch shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part according to claim 3, further comprising creating NC data for punch machining based on punch shape position, hole position, punch shape data and hole machining information after movement.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
144 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part in a CAD/CAM system for performing progressive mold design by performing blank layout based on an entered article shape, then defining different shapes such as punch shapes in a strip layout, and thereafter specifying different shapes and part holes machined in each plate, comprising the steps of: defining a hole position of a part which mounts a punch on a plate by entering (i) the fact that the hole is a hole for the part which mounts the punch, (ii) a part name of the part which mounts the punch, and (iii) the hole position of the part, defining the hole position as a part hole position together with the punch shape when said fact is entered; and moving the part hole position in accordance with the movement of the punch shape.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
144 words
A method of defining a hole position of a punch mounting part in a CAD/CAM system for performing progressive mold design by performing blank layout based on an entered article shape, then defining different shapes such as punch shapes in a strip layout, and thereafter specifying different shapes and part holes machined in each plate, comprising the steps of: defining a hole position of a part which mounts a punch on a plate by entering (i) the fact that the hole is a hole for the part which mounts the punch, (ii) a part name of the part which mounts the punch, and (iii) the hole position of the part, defining the hole position as a part hole position together with the punch shape when said fact is entered; and moving the part hole position in accordance with the movement of the punch shape.
